Review

After long time after the release of the movie Gaalipata, Munagaru Male fame director Yogaraj Bhat has released his third movie Manasaare (Manasare), which features Diganth and Andrita Ray (Aindrita Ray) in the leads. Musician Mano Murthy and lyricist Jayant Kaikini have once again joined hands with the director for the movie.

The movie Manasaare is a family entertainer, which revolves around psychological factors like love and madness. The movie is based on Garcia Gabriel's novel 'Ward No. 9'. The director has weaved a beautifully script by mixing comedy with love. He has even got good grip over the narration.

The highlights of the movie Manasaare are Diganth-Andrith Ray's performance, Mano Murthy's music, Sathya Hegde's camera work, Yogaraj Bhat's dialogues. Although Yogaraj Bhat has tried a lot to get rid of the traces of Munagaru Male and Gaalipata in the movie Manasaare, many of his dialogues remind us of his previous movies.
The first half of the movie is full of comedy and the second half is bit serious and sentimental. The director has failed to convince what he exactly wants to say. In the second, he seems to have stumbled because the movie is confusing with neither comedy nor sentimental.

The hero of the movie is an irresponsible guy, who speaks continuously. Unfortunately, the staff of mental hospital mistake him to be a mad guy and admit him to the mental hospital. He tries to convince other mad patients that he is not an insane, but in vein. Once he comes across a mad girl when he is trying to escape from the hospital. He is infatuated by her and he drops the idea of escaping. What happens next will form the rest of the story.

Director Yogaraj Bhat has made a wise decision in selecting artistes and technician for the movie Manasaare. He is also successful in tapping out wonderful acting in learners like Diganth and Andrita Ray. Diganth has improved his acting a lot when compared to his previous movies. He seems to have aped the dialogue delivery style of Ganesh. Andrita also rocks the audiences. Her appearance speaks more than her words.
Mano Murthy's music is another hero of the movie. The audio of the movie Manasaare has already won the heart of music lovers. The song 'Ello Maleyagide Indu...', which is sung by Sonu Nigam, will no doubt become another 'Anisuthide Yaako Indu...' Other songs like 'Naa Naguva Modalene...' and Kanna Hani are also haunt the listeners.
Over all, the movie Manasaare is a comic-love story. The Hubli- Dharwad Kannada dialect is the highlight of the comic show. Movie Manasaare has got all the qualities to become another Mungaru Male in Kannada. It is a must-watch movie

Junglee girl wooing hearts in Manasare

Fluttering eyelashes, coy smile and nimble gait- purrrr, we are referring to the Junglee cat- Andy Ray. Aindrita Ray transformed overnight from the ‘girl-next-door’ in Meravanige to glamour goddess in Junglee. The paw-some and vivacious Andy maintains that she endears the bubbly cute-girl image.

Satya Hegde’s camera in Yograj Bhatt’s to be released Manasare captures Andy’s dishy looks again. Set against another Sandal cutie-Diganth, the Jodi look tempered with a loot of spice and sizzle. At least the pictures spell the sizzle that is in store (not mentioning Diganth’s attempts to keep ‘cool’). Manasare holds promise for this Bong beauty who strongly believes in her gumption that the glam quotient will be gradually replaced by chunk roles.
Aindrita Ray - Manasare

Rumor mills wind that Andy plays a mentally retarded girl in Manasare. It is probably the first time Andy gets a scoop for the Sridevi-like role played in Sadma. Role or Reel, nothing stops the cameras from revealing the glam shades of this diva whenever it can. Only time can tell, till then, it’s the luscious looking Aindrita for you, in her pristine white outfit, perfect peaches and cream complexion and an irresistible saccharine coated smile.

Studying to be a dentist, wonder how this nineteen year old would manage movies alongside peeping down smelly gums? Let me screech a brake on your thoughts, if you are thinking of lining up appointments for Andy’s dental chair. This damsel is serious about hanging around the industry as long as she can, even if it means some more of skimpy clothing. So for now, it’s the camera over the chair!

Review

In the name of industrialisation and modernisation, we are seeing environmental degradation along with displacement of population. In a period of deep economic slowdown, an NRI Mr. Harsha Ram has dared to produce a non commercial cinema called Bettadapurada Ditta Makkalu.

Yes, it is Kodlu Ramakrishna back with his new movie. The movie has released in PVR and has gained an official entry into South Asian film festival.

The movie is based on the novel BETTADA PURADA DITTARU by Na. D’ Souza. We can recall that Na. D’ Souza’s earlier novel Mulugade which was adopted as Dweepa won National Film Awards.

The story line is about a small village called Bettada Pura where an industrialist with the help of a local politician tries to start mining activities on the hill of the village. This is opposed by the school children of the village lead by their teacher.

The Story :

Moonar starring by Ranjith, Rithi. ‘All the incidents in this film are fictitious……. Until they happen to you’. We see an upanishad quote about death. The film begins with Chakravarthi shouting in anguish inside a dark forest.

The film cuts to Arya, and the introduction song. We learn that Karthick (Arya) is an architect. He meets Sandhya (Trisha) in a go-carting race, and falls in love as soon as he sees her. Sandhya is a doctor, and so Karthick goes to her hospital and tries to woo her. Sandhya hates Karthick as she thinks he is not serious about life.Gradually, she falls for him, and the two happily enjoy life.

Review

We also see Eashwar, a man who has lost his wife and son in a road accident. Eashwar thinks that it was Naushad – the man who accidentally hit Eashwar’s wife (Anu Hassan in a cameo) and son with his car – who is solely responsible for their death, and he repeatedly stalks Naushad and threatens him that he doesn’t understand the loss Eashwar has undergone and he will only understand it if his own son dies. Naushad has a little boy Iman, and Naushad finally hides in Munnar, fearing Eashwar.

It is at this point that the story takes a serious turn. Sandhya dies in a brutal accident, and Karthick is devastated. Sandhya’s father tells Karthick that Sandhya’s heart has been transplanted and it’s Naushad’s son who is living with her heart. Karthick becomes emotional and goes on a trip to find out Naushad. By following Karthick, Eashwar too arrives at Munnar. What happens at Munnar forms the rest of the story. Was Eashwar successful in his mission to kill Naushad’s son? Was Karthick able to overcome his grief? See the movie.

Preview

For the first time in the history of Malayalam cinema one film conceived by a team force of 10 directors.

Segments bound together by a single concept "yatra". Supported behind the scenes by a committed team of technical talent from the industry.

On the common theme of journeys, each filmmaker presents their cinematic impression of contemporary times in Kerala. The independent narratives integrate when, during these journeys, their characters pass through KERALA CAFE - a quaint railway cafeteria; there by creating a joint mosaic of issues and impressions; in a symbiotic space and time .Kerala CAFE will have one signature song which brings together the behind-the-scenes making of the different films using the footage of the crew.
There is an eleventh element in the project which will be the integration of the ten stories. The story happens in a Railway cafeteria called “ Kerala Café” where there is an interaction among the characters of the different stories. This will be collectively shot by the participating Directors and the cinematography of this portion will be done by Prakash Kutty, an FTII product.

Ranjith is the compiler and the chief architect of the project.

Krala Cafe', the first Mollywood package of assortments of ten shorts to comprise a full length feature, was censored last week. The movie which will extend to around two hours will feature shorts on a common theme of journey, realised by all eminent new generation directors of Mollywood including Lal Jose, Shaji Kailas, B Unnikrishnan, Shankar Ramakrishnan, Revathy, Anjali Menon, Anwar Rasheed, Uday Ananthan, Padmakumar and Shyamaprasad. Different shorts will feature actors like Mammootty, Suresh Gopi, Prithviraj, Jayasuriya, and Salimkumar. The initiative conceived, designed and produced by Renjith will get to theatres for this Ramzan festival.

Similar kinds of experiments have happened before in foreign languages with films like Paris, Je T'aime and also in Hindi with films like Dus Kahaaniyam and Mumbai Cutting.

Ganesh’, the movie with caption ‘Just Ganesh’ arrived today. This is the fifth movie of Ram and he paired up with Kajal, the heroine who is on top seat with the mega block buster ‘Magadheera’. Let us go into the details of the movie.

Story:

Ganesh, (Ram) is a happy go guy with loads of enthusiasm and a thing for helping others. He has friend who falls in love with girl that doesn’t fit into the scheme of things designed by his father (Kasi Viswanath). The father wants his son to be married to his niece Divya (Kajal). Not able to see the pain of his friend, Ganesh decides to help him out by making plan to make Divya fall for someone else i.e Ganesh. He puts his plan into motion by starting out as a tenant of Divya’s at an apartment complex in Hyderabad. The place is apparently, filled with several, 26 in all, playful kids. These kids make their presence felt in all corners of the buildings. Mahadev, played by Ashish Vidyarthi, and Yadgiri (Brahmanandam) match each other’s wits, though Mahadev is the baddie and Yadgiri, the local goon is on the funnier side of things. Ganesh, apparently, has to manage all these people and succeed in his goal of impressing Divya and the methods that he employs form the gist of the film.

Reviews

Ram was utilized to the core and was presented in a great way and is quite impressive. Kajal played the usual Barbie doll role quite enthusiastically, the Kids’s performances are memorable, especially, that of Nani, and the plump kid, Ashish Vidyarthi is wasted as he is used to much better roles, Sameer, Poonam Kaur and Rohini Attanghadi are all reasonably good.
The one thing that shows all along was the lack of focused screenplay and it is surely the director’s biggest responsibility. It seems to lose track of itself and sometimes becomes downright mundane especially, in the second half. The film drags along on predicted lines and doesn’t present anything new. Also the director should have ensured much screen space to the one’s that stood out – the kids.
The film is one of those films that is good and bad at the same time. The first half, though not exactly riveting, does more to keep the audiences interested than the extremely dragging second half, which never seems to end. The film did have its moments especially scenes involving the kids, which will interest that part of the audience that themselves are kids and them some more. all in all, with a more concentrated screenplay and better screen space management the film do itself a lot of good.
Just to unite a pair of lovers, Ganesh (Ram) has to feign love to Divya (Kajal). But to even do that or reach her, he has to come up with a series of dramas and antics to please the numerous kids living in the apartment where Divya too stays. He secures a flat adjacent to Divya’s and works hard at getting her attention. When she really does fall in love, it takes a minute for her to realise that Ganesh has been fooling her and she distances herself from him. The rest of the story is about how Divya plays hard to get and Ganesh tries his best to convince her that he really, indeed has fallen in love.
Director Saravanan uses the children to inject comic situations but he allows the children to dominate the story most of the time and ends up looking like a farce. Imagine kids dressing up like adults and knocking the doors of a neighbour to negotiate or talk about alliances, all you want to do is whack them. Too much kid stuff shows the director’s desperation, the comic premise betrays more of a concern for quick box-office bucks than any desire for comic invention. Also Ashish Vidyarthi’s presence looks pointless, it appears as if he has been created just to show Ganesh’s machoism.
Brahmanandam tearing of his assistant’s clothes to give Ganesh a warning is funny but it lasts less than a minute. If you are wondering why the filmmakers couldn’t find an apt title for the film, don’t get impatient, stay tuned till the Manmohan Desai like climax hits you like a bolt.

Reviews

went to see The Dark Crystal at the cinema when it was first released and recall that it wasn't entirely what the audience or I was really expecting. It was being promoted as being from Jim Henson, the man behind The Muppets, and as a fantasy tale using puppets and elaborate costumes to disguise the human performers. This it indeed is, but that doesn't mean it's a whimsical and folksy story; the clue is in the title. Just how dark parts of this story are must have been a concern to anyone who brought along young children and found them having nightmares about the horrible scaly Skeksis and their violent crab-like minions, the Garthim.

As an adult my take on the story of the urSkeks who became split into the Skeksis and urRu seemed much more engaging than I'd expected. I was also wowed by the brilliance of the Henson puppet shop, which never ceased to amaze me with their ability to obscure the true nature of their creations. In particular, the Landstriders are a work of pure genius, as is all the design work illustrator Brian Froud did for all the characters and extraordinary world they inhabit. The only jarring aspect of the design work I found was the appearance of the newly forged combination of Mystics and Skeksis, which exhibit few obvious evolutions of their source creatures. Given how related the two appeared, the resulting beings of their merger just don't sell their origins to my eye.

In retrospect, another weakness in presentation that niggles is the lack of neck movement the Gelfling characters exhibit, like they've all sustained a bad neck injury. Them having to turn their entire upper body to look behind is awkward and, unsurprisingly, Muppet-like.

Many felt at the time that while puppets could be engaging enough for 30 minutes or more, a 93 minute feature might be an unrealistic expectation. But Dark Crystal proved that it was an entirely practical premise given the immense talent of the Henson people. Without Dark Crystal I also can't see that productions like Farscape would ever have existed, and it was clearly influential in many fantasy films that came after it, like Return To Oz.

But the big problem The Dark Crystal has is that, while the design work is amazing and the concept high-brow, not much of this translates well into the characters or the plot. Given the running time, relatively little happens in the movie, and even those characters that get the most running time seem woefully underdeveloped.

After watching it again the word that kept retuning to my mind was ‘experimental', as so much of The Dark Crystal was. I think the mistake was to make so much of it experimental, as the narrative and characters could have been stronger without undermining the fantasy elements. The co-directors Jim Henson and Frank Oz did an acceptable job, but the importance of the visual styling overtook the other important storytelling aspects. As such, the end result is something of a victory for style over substance, but not one that I think was intended to be that way.

So how well does The Dark Crystal transfer to high definition? To be brutal, not that well, because some of it isn't shot well enough and it came from an era where expensive optical compositions ended up in the movie irrespective of if they worked.

The multi-generation optical are also granular in a way that contrasts the majority of the studio work, making them even more visually disrupting than they were on DVD, for example.

I suspect that this release is about as good as this movie is ever likely to get as I can't see anyone expending the time and money to recreate the optical effects digitally, even if they did get access to the source negatives. My reaction to the sound is that it's wonderful in places and somewhat strained in others.

The extras are also something of a disappointment, because they've almost all appeared before on the 25th Anniversary Edition DVD and they're all in standard definition. Most of them are promotional material created at the time, but the best extras are the two documentaries Reflections of the Dark Crystal: "Light on the Path of Creation" & "Shard of Illusion". These contain more recent interviews with production people, and the thoughts of designer Brian Froud are certainly worth the time to hear. Some items, like the deleted scenes, are in such low quality that they look like they came from an old VHS tape someone kept from the production.

The problem is that until a new chapter in The Dark Crystal chronicles is created, which is supposedly in the works, there isn't really anything new to say about this movie.

Overall, I enjoyed revisiting The Dark Crystal as it's some considerable time since I've seen it on TV. In many ways it's a flawed masterpiece, which shows much more imagination than it's ultimately able to deliver on. Blu-ray technology doesn't really do it many favours, but then I think that's true of many movies from the early eighties.

Plot Summary

An examination of what went wrong for the dynamic, outspoken young football manager Brian Clough when he took over at Leeds United, the reigning champions in 1974.

Reviews

The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Michael Sheen had a fascinating interview with HitFix.com where he talked about his film The Damned United. In the film, Sheen portrays Brian Clough during his time as the coach of U.K. football (American "soccer") Leeds United. The Damned United brought Sheen to Toronto recently for the Toronto International Film Festival (alongside Anna Kendrick for Up In The Air and Xavier Samuel for The Loved Ones) and was released in U.K. theate »

A few hours ago I spoke with Michael Sheen regarding his new movie “The Damned United”. While I’ll have much more on his new film soon, I was able to ask Michael about some of his other projects like “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”, “Tron Legacy”, “Alice in Wonderland” and the “Underworld” franchise. So if you’d like to hear what Michael had to say about those projects, hit the jump.
The first thing Michael told me was he’s heard the rumors about a 4th “Underworld”, but no one has contacted him yet.
We then spoke about the next “Twilight” movie, “New Moon” and he revealed the main reason he took the role of Aro is because of his daughter. He also talked about working on Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” and explained his love of the book and how the movie is going to be different. »
The Welsh actor reveals the late Nottingham Forest, Derby County and Leeds United manager's family refused to take a look at the script for The Damned United and turned down invites to see previews of the film.
Sheen can understand why they were dead set against the idea of seeing the movie, but he hopes they've since had the chance to check it out.
He tells WENN, "His family were against the film because they were very against the book that it was an adaptation of. The book is a very dark portrayal of Brian and we tried to celebrate him more in the film, but I understood why the family were very wary of the film.
"We offered to send them a copy of the script and they didn't want to look at that and we offered them private screenings of the film, but they didn't want that either. I hope they've seen the film since and realised we weren't trying to make him look bad." »

One film that American audiences probably won’t make as popular as all those listed above is the film he’s currently doing press for at the Toronto Film Festival. The Damned United is a soccer biopic about Brian Clough’s 44-day reign as the coach of Leeds United.

Let’s say we live in a world where you can only pick one. »

Sheen was in Toronto promoting “The Damned United” when Empire got the chance to ask him about the sci-fi adventure. According to them, Sheen’s role actually sounds smaller than originally thought. A couple of month’s ago the world had him pegged as the film’s villain. Either that, or he’s downplaying his character’s significance:

His role sounds more like a cameo than a fully-fledged character, since he only seems

We've known for a while that Michael Sheen would be in Tron Legacy. Sheen has started to explode into high-profile films, and while he's been stuck in the Underworld films and now the Twilight series, he's also impressed us in Frost/Nixon and The Queen. His presence in the new Tron flick is nothing but a good thing. Coming Soon talked to Sheen in Toronto, where his film The Damned United premiered. Sadly, his role in Legacy sounds like a small one, as he's playing a nightclub owner within the computer world. That was amazing, because there's a lot of green screen in that. But my stuff was mainly in this amazing set that they built because I'm a nightclub host, so they built the nightclub and there were hundreds of extras and it was one of those great scenes where there's just loads going on.
